Alpenglow is live on mainnet-beta ⛰️ 🎉
Solana’s new consensus protocol: finality reduced from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, built by Anza.
Why this is important 🧵
vertical integration on day one is such a sophisticated way of saying that the use case is not finalised
have been there multiple times; no one knows whats right, so just launch, with what either your user or intuition says so
getting stuck in the dilemma is the worst as it just gives us decision paralysis
launching with one thing will produce information (might be that you were wrong), which will helps to move forward.
got this from a founder just starting out - if you are building an infra project, always start by showcasing a use case
have experienced this many times in prev launches of encrypt
if you dont have a big social clout then ppl will not want to spend time to think of a use case around your infra, you have to feed them the use case
give yourself a wedgie!
it's a DIY hardware wallet
use it as a signer on a @safe
three common parts _wedged_ together
3d print your own case
everything is MIT

by the time ur kids enter adulthood there will be nearly no moats left:
- intelligence commoditized by ai
- looking jacked and sexy commoditized by glp-1s and myostatin inhibitors
- agency and resilience commoditized by dopamine and prefrontal modulators
- being fun to be around commoditized by meta raybans which will give u jokes to tell in real time
the only moat left is having rich and powerful parents.
therefore ur job is to get rich and powerful.
Been chatting with a lot of AI SDR startups. One theme keeps coming up: it's hard to tell early whether an AI SDR is working.
Many founders I know already use one. What these tools do well: research the prospect, write the first email, send follow-ups.
Where time still goes: finding the right ICP, and waiting on a prospect's decision. AI speeds up the first. The second still waits on a human.
The catch: meetings booked show up in days, closed pipeline takes months. Hence, AI SDRs get bought on demos and cancelled on patience.
was having a convo w my college friend who is at a top 5 indian vc
mainly discussed the imp of content nowadays - not just for founders but also for vcs
he wants to start but has been delaying it for a long time
told him my own story - when i entered crypto, posting what i learned about zk was literally the only thing that got me connected to ppl who even angeled in our round
early trust in a new space is hard but some bangers can do the work
